You mean one like this tahomedic... FORM-A-FUNNEL | Oil Change Funnel | Auto Repair Oil changing kits ...I've got one. You can bend this to fit to divert most any fluids.

So since I'm not an electrical wizard and after looking at the electrical guide I'm still lost. I replaced the fog light switch and still have no power at the front fog light connectors. Does anyone know if there is a relay between the switch and the lights? I've checked the fuse and it is working fine. Tomorrow I will replace it anyway to see if maybe I have bad eyes.

Link to electrical guide from Gus's site.

Page 29 shows the name and location of relays. Fog lamp telay is in engine compartment on left side fuse box. It is the center of the three on left side of box. As your standing next to the box on left side of car exchange it with tje relay on the left of it. Thats the headlamp relay the see if that fixes the problem.

For those of you in the west, AutoZone seems to carry most things in stock for the x308's

I can tell you A-Z's part number for X308 'R' pads is incorrect and they will not fit over the rotor.
